Gold scale ca. 1880, from the First National bank of Yankton. The precise measure allowed miners to use unrefined gold dust as a medium for exchange.

Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.

I took a photo of a small soccer ball toy in the water. It looks strange because the ball itself is much smaller than a regular soccer ball, thus it appears as though the waves are large
I think this photo shows scale well, which I find really hard to do in general, and extremely difficult with a cameraphone. It's a bit blurry, but what are you going to do? You can't have it all. EDIT - I can't have it all.
The bridge in the foreground is the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. The building in the background is the rather dramatic Guthrie Theater.

printed a copy of the M8 and adhered it to foamcore to check the scale. This one is about 95% where it needs to be
HO Scale 1:87
Its been a while since I did this kind of work. I recently aquirred some plastic HO scale model freight cars from a friend who found them on freecycle. The plastic model was weathered using artist oils, acrylic paint, pastel chalk..drybrush and washes...i forgot how much fun this is
and remember: "rust never sleeps"

After getting new fenders and "rusting" them, this is the completed upper body. Completed two hours before the modelers show.

Well we picked up some more scape people and hit the Bellevue Botanical Garden for some fun. I really like the protestors, and the portable toilet that Sherri picked out really made this a great scene.

These are all old pictures from 2008/2009. I had never posted them on flickr. Brings back memories for me!
The Scaled Composites Model 348 WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) is a jet-powered carrier aircraft which will be used to launch the SpaceShipTwo spacecraft. It is being developed by Scaled Composites as the first stage of Tier 1b, a two-stage to suborbital-space manned launch system. WK2 is based on the successful mothership to SpaceShipOne, White Knight, which itself is based on Proteus.
Virgin Galactic has ordered two WK2s. Together WK2 and SS2 form the basis for Virgin Galactic's fleet of suborbital spaceplanes.
The first WK2 is named VMS Eve after Richard Branson's mother; it was officially unveiled on July 28, 2008, and flew for the first time on December 21, 2008. The second is expected to be named VMS Spirit of Steve Fossett after Branson's close friend Steve Fossett.
WhiteKnightTwo is roughly three times larger than White Knight, in order to perform a captive carry with the larger SpaceShipTwo spacecraft. The WK2 is similar in wingspan to a B-29 Superfortress. Despite that comparison, White Knight Two is a thoroughly modern aircraft - even the flight control cables are constructed of carbon fiber, using a new patented design.
WK2 will provide preview flights offering several seconds of weightlessness, before the actual suborbital event. It is intended to have a service ceiling of about 60,000 ft (18 km), offering a dark blue sky to passengers. This will allow tourists to practice before the real flight.
WhiteKnightTwo consists of a twin boom with two jet engines per hull.[8] One hull is an exact replica of that of SpaceShipTwo (to allow tourist training), and the other will carry cut-rate day-trippers into the stratosphere.
The design is quite different from the White Knight, both in size, use of tail, engine configuration and placement of cockpit(s). The White Knight uses two T-tails, but the WhiteKnightTwo uses two cruciform tails. Engine configuration is also very different, with engines hung underneath the wings on the WhiteKnightTwo as opposed to engines on either side of the sole cockpit on the White Knight.
